2 years ago today, Code.org was born with this video. It became #1 on +YouTube in 1 day, and it's still pretty great, if you ask us :)

I'm 13 and I learned how to code(Java) at age 12. It's not that hard especially Java. Java is probably one of simplest programming languages out there. It truly is a language. You have grammar and vocabulary. The grammar is the easier part but the vocabulary is kind of unique. You can use your own vocabulary if you create an API or you can somebody else's vocabulary. To study the vocabulary just search up the apidocs for that specific API. That's all you need to know.

+BuildMeASnowmanBiatch Although true that scratch has it's cons, the pros vastly outweigh it when you're a beginner. Basically what I was trying to get at was that for beginners who want to know how to start coding scratch.mit.edu is perfect for them. After that they can can start learning java, c++, etc. Y'all gotta start somewhere fam

This. I own my company (editorial) and I'm pretty proud of that. But, really, if I had to do things differently, I would start all over again and learn to code. I can guarantee you that in today's economy being a skillful programer is a freaking blessing for the gods. The coders have the power, the others watch and pay. Don't be those ones. Learn how to code you will not regret it.

+FreeEd4All The websites that let you create website with a pre-designed template don't let you have complete and full customization of your website. You're right, it's not needed as much as before, but it is needed. Just think about what would happen if every web designer disappeared and no one knew how to make a website and do web design. Things would go downhill fast because the websites that do everything for you will not be there. If our posterity doesn't know anything about it, then there will be no websites.

There are about more than 2000 children living in slum areas near New Delhi. These children are forced to leave their education and are subjected to work in order to earn the livelihood. We have planned to initiate the fulfillment of the basic education for as many poor children as we can.
We started our initiative in the mid of October, 2014. We already contacted more
than 300 families based in local slums new New Delhi. We have also contacted local NGO's and schools to facilitate their admissions in the upcoming session of 2015.
We have already arranged the funding for about 114 children this year. And we need some support in fulfilling the rest.
Here is the link to our campaign:

When I was 10, my teacher put up this video... This video changed my life. I became more inspired to code because you can do great things with computers and this habit is becoming more in the future.
I started out with the basic coding classes, Code.org. Simple, easy, fun and decided to move on after finishing it. The next level was Scratch.mit.edu. Simple, easy, and fun.
Then I went to another level. I took 2 classes in 5th Grade, all classes were Python. I decided to become a game developer, until I found out about a mobile app creator.
In 6th Grade (which is now), the beginning of the year, there were another 2 classes opened for computer science. I joined and learned so much. By myself I learned, HTML, CSS, and all the basics. But with classes, I am learning much more such as, Java, Javascript, Objective C, and more.
"Programming is the future."
Thank you for this education.

my scool teaches coding but so porrly that i dont even try. the teacher does not know a single line of code and most of the time were not even doing code. some times where made turn photos into gifs using a browser and i say that ive had enough i want to write the code that changes the files not click :INPORT and then SAVE.on a pre made program

We should provide all students the opportunity to get involved in the computer sciences early on in their education. Teaching them chess would also help them to develop the mental skills required to face an ever increasing technical world.

Just a comment: C++ is not logical. Apple Basic was logical. Most webpage creation tools are not logical. Netscape Composer was logical. The problem is that the tools used today have become over-thought and made more complicated and as a result cannot be used by the average person. We need a Windows-type revolution in programming.

Rather than great coders, these people are great entrepreneurs. You just don't create Facebook or Twitter only by coding, it requires ambition, creativity, leadership, team work, insight...
Anyway, I'm glad coding is taking more relevance everyday, I wish I was immersed this world of computer science before, 'cause I love coding!

Programming is an art....a skill...and is fun too!
But unfortunately its what most schools (even in India) don't teach in the way it deserves to be taught!
Hope that the scenario changes for the better soon...

There are countless coders with 40 years’ of coding experience that find themselves in the unemployment gutter. What big business is looking for are young, cheap, and naive coders that are eventually positioned into 24/7 support where the stress turns them into ancient expendable sleep deprived zombies whose unsalvageable careers are inhumanly and prematurely sunsetted.
Superpower? Get a grip on reality before reality gets a grip on you.

I'm currently studying Software Design at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona. In one of my classes on Wednesday we watched this video. Since then, I've been trying to get others interested in coding because this video presents how magical coding is.

It really depends on what you need it for, programminh is writing software code and/or utilizing technology to make something easier. Do you have an idea that has not been developed yet that you think will make something easier than what is already out there? Stuff like that.
